Would You Rather Have: The Lexus ES or Lincoln MKZ?

MKZ

I'd actually consider the Lexus first. Considering the ways it's improved (based on reviews), it sounds like less of a snooze. The styling is subjective, yes, but I kinda like it inside and out. The Lincoln is also good looking aside from the Pans Labyrinth Faun-face going on.

The Lincoln interior also looks so... flat. It actually reminds me of the old ES350 in a bad way. I think it's the center-stack shape, and the way the surrounds are so similar and flat-looking. It's like Lincoln widened it so the HVAC ducts weren't rounded at the corners.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.

I guess MKZ, I love Lexus, but the interior looks nicer in photos than it is actually, an I kind of like the Lincolns interior(not sure about the touch sensetive tech.).

it is amazing that the TL is still a segment leader in most of our eyes even though being the oldest entry.

now does it hold a chance against the segment Acura claims the TL compete in? which is the 3-series segment. it does offer a performance AWD system to back it up. but it really is up to the customers, and their perception of Acura.

jdlinder1:the lexus is just too boring. at least the lincoln looks interesting.

..Yes, in the same way that the Nissan Juke looks interesting.

The front end of the MKZ is its biggest Achilles Heel. It just doesn't mesh with the rest of the car. It's so bulbous and the car looks like it's squinting with those undersized headlights. The profile is pretty good, and the tail is nice enough, it's just the front end is so wrong on so many levels. I also HATE the drooping hood that the MKS and MKZ share. It's hideous.

yes. id rather drive around in something polarizing and interesting than something with about as much curb appeal as a beige 90s camry. i would be disappointed every time i went out into the garage.

Ok, so that's the Lexus. How do you feel about the Lincoln? Because the MKZ is absolutely BORING to look at. It looks like a Lincoln Zephyr with a melted front end. There is nothing polarizing or interesting about it. The MKZ wishes it looked as interesting as a Camry SE. The MKZ is one of the few cars left on the road that looks like it was designed to be attractive to the elderly.

I'd take the Lincoln, I guess.I prefer the Lexus's exterior, but I really don't like the interior, and since that's what you're looking at 99% of the time, Lincoln.

whatever fisty. you know which car I was talking about. your entitled to your opinions on styling, but so am I. I would take the MKZ because i think the ES is a total snooze, inside and out.

You're allowed to have your opinion. It's just that your opinion makes no sense.

jdlinder1:you know what makes no sense, trying to argue with people over their opinions on something as suggestive as styling.
